Re: UltraVNC protocol extensions?

For feature requests and bug reports RC15 RC16. Please use the forum at http://forum.ultravnc.net/

When we started ultravnc, there was no protocol extension (like in 4.0) that could tell what kind of
server you have.
Lucky, all other versions had buildin that all versions higher then 3.3 where mapped to 3.3
This way we could differentiate between ours and the other servers by handling the 3.6

I don't know if this is a "broken server", but as the extension was added in rfb4.0 we where just to
soon   :)

I just added some test exe that fix
bug: using 256 colors and installed driver, colors where sometimes inversted (red/blue)

Offical distribution are on sf, testversion can current be found on
http://sc.uvnc.com/V2
